The Empress Eugenie Still Beau
tiful.

An Italian newspaper thus describes
the Empress Eugene as she appeared
recently on the promenade in Naples:
Slender, erect, and with II superb
figure, she is at once to be recognized
as grande dame. Her bright and
vivacious eyes justify the old fascina-
ton aud the episode of the diamonds
in the Forest of Compiegne. Her still
rosy complexion is admirably pre-
served, and is perhaps owing to the
mild climate which has renewed the
ancient beauty in her cheeks; her hair,
not yet white, still shows tints of pale
gold. The Empress was, as always, in
deep mourning; and wore u long Grape
veil Although she carried para
sol in her left hand, her right hand
held the well-known stick, on which
however, she did not lean.

TESTIMONIAL TO GLADSTONE.
An American Present TO the Greatest
EncIish Statesman. I.

English Statesman. 1
In Broadway, n. Y, in Tiifany's window,
Is a silver bust Of Gladstone, the greatest OF
living English statesmen. This is a tribute to
tho great Liberal leader from his American
admirers. 1t was suggested last summer,
and at once fund was started and an order
given for the work. The fund amounts TO
over s., 900, and represents nearly IL coo con-
tributors, the majority of the contributions
being in small sums ..
Mr.. J. H. Whitehouse prepared design,
which, with some notifications, was adopted
by the committee in charge Now, after
eight months of careful work, the testimonial
is completed.
1t is of sterling silver, and is 81 inches high.
A rectangular base stands on six feet, and
measures "a inches in length, % in depth and
01S in height On the center Of this is a cube
supporting the pedestal and bust Of the
aGrand Old Man." At the right of the cube
stands graceful female figure in star
spangled robe. In her left arm is the harp of
Erin. Her right has been thrown about the
base of the bust scattering shamrock over
the pedestal. She represents Irish-America
paying homage to the man who has fought
| for the freedom of her kindred over the sea-
The bust of Gladstone is pronounced an ex-
ccllent likeness. Beneath the bust little
scroll bears the figures "1SS6-7," the years
when the fund was collected and the testi-
monial presented. The piece is said to illus
trate the fine effects of silver etching, an art
but little practiced over the sea. The back
| ground of all the reliefs is a Celtic scroll.
| This kind of ornamentation belongs to medi-
| eval and prehistoric Ireland. The inscrip-
| ton on the face of the cubcal body is, "Will-
lam Ewart Gladstone: Testimonial Presented
| by His American Admirers" In the center
are fasces representing Gladstone's ministerial
career, around which ore the words "Home
| Rule" in solid block lettering. At the back
| ground of these words are the scales of justice
in bas relief. The word "Home" rests upon
the scales on one side and the word "Rule'
upon the other. About these emblems is an
encircling wreath Of laurel, typical of ulti
mate success.
The female figure at the right is nineteer
inches high. 1t is partly balanced on the left
by heavy wreath of laurel in full relief
At the rear, in wreath of laurel, are the
figures ''1SS7," the year of presentation. Thc
unique Celtic scroll, etched with minute care
